Just saw a fabulous Miura

[hornetrider]

...in a kind of Sky Blue colour. Was on the M48/M4 near Bristol and heading off North on the M5. Anyone on here or know the car?

Edible!

[elms]

I know the car, just been restored

[XXVIII]

It was a multiple trophy winner at LCUK's annual dinner weekend last year, try not to dribble too much!:



and lives in that neck of the woods where you saw it, in a very broad sense...

I've been looking at pictures of this car for months now... I'm almost sure I'll not have a repeat of the unfortunate 'moment' again, not today at least...

[hornetrider]

That's the chap. My goodness.

I had to hang back for a while and simply admire the thing. Flashed him out then let him come past again - he obliged by giving it a bit of loud pedal and some overrun - lovely pops and burbles.

It's fair to say I had a trouser moment as well

fantastic, though as my dad used to say, they didn't make any bad ones

Am I to be considered a bit 'chav' for absolutely loving that flip paint Diablo behind it?

It wouldn't be my colour of choice but, a 'chav' car? Don't think so...




eta RallyRider made this pic as well...

No I didn't say that it was a chav car, just that I was a chav for liking the colour.

The car is epic.

OMG. just gorgeous....

I don't like the light blue, but the car is simply stunning. One of my all time favs. I have once seen a red one with gold wheels in London, which is the car for me

Utterly utterly perfect.

as seen in Auto Italia and the LCUK magazine last year... not red either!...

LCUK Members Miura for sale as you view this... blood orange... works for me, lend 'us' a few hundred thousand quid someone...

[XXVIII]

but if you have to have a red one, there's always the only 'correct' recreation of the one and only Jota...

Is this colour on the Miura called Phoebe Celeste? Andy and I have just bought a Gallardo Spyder in that colour. Unusual but really lovely in the flesh
